    Episode 237. What 25 Years of Teaching Business has Taught Me About Who Actually Makes the Leap into Entrepreneurship

    After 25 years of teaching business courses at Tulsa Community College, I've had a front-row seat to thousands of students—some looking to complete a degree, some hoping to advance in their careers, and many carrying a dream of starting a business and creating a life with more freedom and purpose. One thing I've learned is this: not everyone who dreams about entrepreneurship becomes an entrepreneur. So what separates the people who take the leap from those who stay stuck in the planning phase? In this solo episode, I share the characteristics I've consistently seen in the students who move from dreaming to doing. It's rarely about having the perfect idea, the most experience, or even the greatest talent. Instead, it comes down to mindset, habits, discipline, consistency, self-motivation, and the willingness to take imperfect action. We'll talk about: ✨ Why clarity comes through action—not before it ✨ The common traits successful entrepreneurs share ✨ The importance of resourcefulness and lifelong learning ✨ Why entrepreneurship is not a spectator sport ✨ Getting comfortable being a beginner ✨ The difference between consuming information and creating momentum ✨ One powerful question to ask yourself if you've been waiting for the "right time" If you've been sitting on a dream, questioning whether you're ready, or wondering if entrepreneurship is right for you, this conversation is for you. Remember: the people who build successful businesses don't necessarily have less fear than everyone else—they simply decide that their dream is more important than their discomfort. Question to reflect on after listening: What is one step you've been avoiding because you don't feel ready—and what would happen if you took that step anyway? Thank you for listening to the Sharing Passion and Purpose Podcast. Start with passion. Grow with purpose.

    Episode 234. Storytelling, Leadership and Building Your Second Mountain with Jason Collington

    After nearly three decades at the Tulsa World, including serving as Executive Editor, Jason Collington stepped away from a career he loved to begin what he calls his “second mountain,” a new chapter helping leaders, nonprofits, and businesses navigate some of their biggest decisions through strategy, storytelling, and leadership. In this episode of Sharing Passion and Purpose, Jason shares how a career built on curiosity, communication, and community led him to launch Collington Consulting and the Collington Index. Together, we discuss the power of storytelling in today’s attention economy, the importance of critical thinking, and why human intelligence may be more valuable than ever in an AI-driven world. Jason also offers thoughtful insights on fatherhood, leadership, raising curious children, and what it means to intentionally create your next chapter rather than simply react to change. In this conversation, you'll discover: • Why storytelling remains one of the most powerful leadership tools • How to stand out in today’s attention economy • The value of curiosity, reading, and critical thinking • Why AI will never replace authentic human connection • Lessons on leadership, parenting, and lifelong learning • How to identify and embrace your own “second mountain” Whether you're navigating a career transition, building a business, leading a team, or simply wondering what's next, Jason's wisdom will inspire you to think bigger, communicate better, and lead with intention.
